It’s a bottleneck. If you are calculating faster than you can record the results, you have to wait for the write operation to complete before you can do the next calculation.

Hey yo, can someone with image editing skills turn that thumbnail of sad miller into a sad clown please?

Shocked?

We’re past blasting, so 2018. Now we’re on flaying.

Of course you would, probably at least the first two or three times, that’s why they’re on this trend.

Slam not getting enough clicks anymore, people know “slam” means “gentle rebuke.” Now it’s flay, pillory. At this rate, some time in 2028 we can expect “mild procedural admonition” to be replaced with something like “set off nuclear munitions over home of,” eg. “Judge Obliterates Defendant’s Entire Hometown With a White Phosphor Bomb in Searing Ruling Over Unpaid Parking Fines.” gotta get them clicks

A law without a mechanism of enforcement is just a suggestion.

chatgpt favored a few articles in its training data that used “its not x – its y” more than others. it was sheer accident and coincidence to begin with, but is now being cemented into the language by chatgpt’s relative ubiquity and a feedback mechanism where new training data contains this artifact, increasing its favorability in subsequent models. I’m not saying that the phrase didn’t exist before chatgpt. it’s not a seismic shift in language patterns – It’s a feedback mechanism. The same feedback mechanism causes it to prefer “it’s not” vs “it isn’t” despite there being no grammatical distinction between them. “It’s not” was presumably slightly more popular among the training data it (or rather, its trainers) happened to favor during initial training. The same feedback mechanism causes it to write metaphor like a bored, not-particularly-bright college student in a poetry class they’re taking just for the credit.

The Sarco pod (sometimes referred to as a “suicide pod”) is a euthanasia device or machine consisting of a 3D-printed detachable capsule mounted on a stand that contains a canister of liquid nitrogen to die by suicide through inert gas asphyxiation.

Thats great for comey and all, but the concern was for Ms James.

Right, but… who? It seems like a lie, or wishful thinking; It’s exactly the kind of thing I’d like to believe, which makes me instantly suspicious.

Digging a little deeper, here’s the original quote. Jake Sherman is a journalist, who attributes the quote to “a senior house republican.”

To whom was that long stream of quotation supposed to be attributed?
